Key Points for Achieving the Golden Ratio

(1) Double Eyelids

Visually, double eyelids give the impression of being more energetic, easygoing, and approachable, while monolids look less lively, with a sense of individuality and mysterious distance, and may be harder to approach.

If you were born with less subcutaneous fat in your eyelids, you can use the “suture” method (stapler-style stitching) to create the double eyelid crease, with quick swelling reduction and short downtime after the procedure. If you have more subcutaneous fat in your eyelids, we recommend the incisional method, which removes excess eyelid skin and subcutaneous fat during the operation, though the operation takes slightly longer and recovery is a bit longer too.

(2) Eye Shape

Peach blossom eyes are commonly defined as a longer shape with the outer corners slightly lifted, forming a crescent-moon shape when smiling. If your natural eye shape is less than ideal, we recommend first checking the distance between your eyes and then having surgery on the inner or outer corner to adjust it.

(3) Tear Troughs, Eye Bags, and Aegyo Sal

The condition around the eyes also affects the overall effect. For example, tear troughs and eye bags can make you look tired and older, and the problem can be solved by eye bag removal surgery and autologous fat grafting.

If tear troughs are not too severe and you want to create peach blossom aegyo sal, minimally invasive filler injections can be used, such as hyaluronic acid filler, youth needle, AestheFill, and collagen stimulators, all of which can fill hollows, strengthen support for sagging tissue or stimulate regeneration, and add fullness.

(4) Skin Around the Eyes

People who are expressive or love to smile move the skin around their eyes a lot, which may speed up aging of that skin or the formation of lines. A common problem is crow's feet, which can be treated with Botox injections to smooth the lines quickly, and the results can last for half a year or so.

In addition, skin aging with age can lead to slack skin and more fine lines around the eyes, and you can also use Thermage FLX eye treatment, using RF heat to stimulate collagen remodeling, precisely improving aging around the eyes and eliminating fine lines and slackness.

Aesthetic Medicine Options for Peach Blossom Eyes

To get peach blossom eyes, besides makeup, you can also achieve the ideal eye shape through the following three surgeries!

1. Outer Corner Surgery (Lateral Canthoplasty)

Compared with inner corner surgery (medial canthoplasty), outer corner surgery is the most direct way to change the shape of the eyes. It can be performed when the eye angle is too sharp, the outer corners tilt upward, or the eye proportions don't harmonize with the face shape.

The procedure is to make a small incision at the outer corner, separate the conjunctival flap from the subcutaneous tissue, and transpose it to form a new outer canthus. For patients who also have upturned outer corners, a lateral canthal extension can be added. Depending on your situation, the corner can be fixed to the periosteum at one of three angles (upward, middle, or downward), using the direction of the outer corner to change the impression you give others.

2. Lower Eyelid Lowering Surgery

Lower eyelid lowering surgery is the counterpart of levator muscle surgery for the upper eyelid. It mainly addresses the shape of the lower eyelid so that more of the white of the eye shows, giving the eyes an innocent look.

The treated area is about halfway outward from the center of the pupil, where the lower retractor and the tarsus are sutured more firmly to pull the lower eyelid down slightly and show more of the white of the eye, so the gaze looks less fierce and the eyes look cuter. This surgery is usually combined with outer corner surgery to amplify its effect and extend the visible white of the eye toward the pupil or the inner corner.

When performing lower eyelid lowering surgery, the direction of lash growth must also be considered, because in some people the lashes turn inward, and there is a risk of ingrown lashes after surgery, so the shape of the outer eyelid must be adjusted for each individual case to improve the curve.

3. Aegyo Sal Surgery

Aegyo sal surgery is the counterpart of double eyelid surgery for the upper eyelid. It mainly targets the orbicularis oculi muscle under the eye, creating a band-like bulge about 0.4-0.6 cm wide, right below the lower lashes, which makes the eyes look more dimensional and appear larger.

Hyaluronic acid injection is the fastest way to create aegyo sal, and because the skin under the eyes is thin and delicate, it is best to choose small-molecule hyaluronic acid to avoid overly large aegyo sal. Because hyaluronic acid absorbs water, it gives the aegyo sal a luminous look, the same effect as women using white eyeshadow to create a dewy look under the eyes.

Another method is surgically placing an implant. Autologous implants can be taken from the deep fascia on the inner side of the temple, the deep fascia beside the ear, or the dermis of the groin crease. Artificial implants include acellular dermal matrix. Right after the procedure there is more swelling, but since about 20-30% is absorbed, after absorption and swelling go down it becomes more and more stable, and the aegyo sal look completely natural, giving you a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.
